Bringing a new pet into the home is like introducing a new member to the family. It is a wonderful, memorable
event and if managed correctly will be the start of a long and happy home environment for both you and your
puppy. Read on for some useful tips to help you prepare to welcome a puppy into your home.
1. Firstly you should choose a breed that is suitable to your living situation. For example, a large dog will
require a garden and wouldn’t be suitable for apartment living. Think about your lifestyle, the time you have
available for a dog and the size of your home and garden. 2. Decide what room the puppy will sleep and eat
in. Then make sure the room is secure and warm. 3. Contact the owner or kennel you are getting the puppy
from and find out what it is being fed. It is important that the puppy gets the same food when it arrives in its
new home. You can gradually change its food at a later date once your puppy has settled in. 4. A good
suggestion is to get a small soft toy for your puppy to give to the owner a week or so before the puppy is
collected. This way the puppy will have something familiar, in scent and texture, to keep it company. 5.
Research your local vet and make an appointment to bring your puppy in for a check up and vaccinations. 6.
Arrange your pet insurance. Pet health care can be very expensive, so insurance can help you with any
unforeseen costs. For instance, many companies have a selection of pet insurance packages for you to choose
from. 7. Put together your new puppy check list and get new items before your puppy arrives. Before you
collect your pet, for example, make sure that you have your pet travel case in the car so you can then transport
your new pet safely. Also, it is always a good idea to bring some wipers in case your new puppy gets car sick.
